I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Notre Dame, advised by Prof. Nitesh Chawla, ACM/IEEE/AAAI Fellow. Before that, I received my Bachelor’s degree from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

My research is broadly centered on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science. Within these fields, I aim to advance scientific discoveries through graph machine learning. I am particularly interested in developing machine learning algorithms that can effectively and efficiently address data imbalance and sparsity in scientific graph data, such as molecular graphs in chemistry and single-cell knowledge graphs in biology. My work also contributes to various fields, including public health, nutrition and food services, and aerospace safety.
